I find "Gorilla Glue" sticks almost anything to anything. At CTC, Home Depot etc.

Hey thanks for the glue suggestion.

I called The Source for the mirror cap. He doesn't have a blue. Please let me know if you have an extra.

Thanks

Gorilla gule os awesome but it is urathane so it bubbles and expamds before setting. Don't use much.

Do NOT get the Gorilla Glue on your skin !!!!

As I said sticks to almost anything, how it doesn't stick to the inside of the plastic bottle is a mystery.

It's not that bad, I get it on my fingers all the time when gluing plastics to jig heads while fishing.

Hi
used Gorilla on the mirror as suggested. For the first time I turned the heat-on on the mirrors this week. next day the mirror become loose.
Is there anything else to handle the heat from the base mirror?
Thanks

If you read the bottle it says to wet the area before use.. thats why. fill the bottle with water and it would harden.
